The fragmented information transmitted before the puppet core self-destructed was like a boulder cast into a tranquil lake, stirring towering waves among the upper ranks of the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat. After Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, and several elders skilled in information decryption worked day and night without rest, a fragment of a chilling truth was finally pieced together several days later.
The information remained incomplete, but its crucial portions were enough to horrify anyone:
"...'The Finality Council'...the 'Harvest Era' is about to begin...the 'Heart of Annihilation' is the key...'Primordial Coffin' location...'pasture' cleanup...resistance...Xuan Nü...chaotic variable...priority raised...'cleaners' dispatched..."
"The Finality Council," "Harvest Era," "Heart of Annihilation," "pasture," "cleaners"... these cold and malicious terms painted a terrifying picture that sent chills down their spines.
"The Finality Council is likely the organization to which the owner of those silver eyes belongs. Its very name reeks of destruction." The inspector's voice was dry. "The Harvest Era... Do they see our universe as a 'pasture' that can be harvested periodically? And is the Heart of Annihilation connected to the Annihilation Star Sea—or rather, to the Primordial Stone Coffin—the 'key' they use for harvesting?"
"The Cult of Rebirth is merely one of the 'cleaners' they sent to clear the pasture and search for the key!" Fury burned in Ling Xiao Sword Master's eyes. "And in their eyes, we are merely 'resistance' within the pasture that must be cleared away!"
Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva wore a sorrowful expression. "Amitabha. To regard countless living beings as mere grass and dirt—such actions are intolerable to heaven's law!"
Li Wuyang clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented surge of fury and pressure. Chaotic variable... did that mean him? Had his appearance disrupted the Cult of Rebirth's plans, causing The Finality Council to mark him as a threat requiring priority elimination?
